Making Success Inevitable
Lewis Hamilton uses this method of achievement
FIXED MINDSET: 'What if you fail—you'll be a failure'
GROWTH MINDSET: 'Most successful people had failures along the way.'
FIXED MINDSET: 'If you don't try, you can protect yourself and keep your dignity.'
GROWTH MINDSET: 'If I don't try, I automatically fail. Where's the dignity in that?'
As you hit a setback:
FIXED MINDSET: 'This would have been a snap if you really had talent.'
GROWTH MINDSET: 'That is so wrong. Basketball wasn't easy for Michael Jordan and science wasn't easy for Thomas Edison. They had a passion and put in tons of effort.
As you face criticism:
FIXED MINDSET: 'It's not my fault. It was something or someone else's fault.'
GROWTH MINDSET: 'If I don't take responsibility, I can't fix it. Let me listen—however painful it is- and learn whatever I can.'
